Fig. 3: Analyses of test animal phylogeny datasets incorporating site-heterogeneous models and SR4 recoding into partitioned phylogenomics.

a Percentage of gene partitions best fit by each model tier at each analysis level for amino acid and recoded data. Results are shown for each of the three datasets: REA, WEA15 and WEA17. b L4 topology recovered for each dataset, with UFBOOT support for Ctenophora sister (defining node indicated with a circle) under L1–L4 and RL1 shown. c Topologies recovered under RL2 for each dataset, with UFBOOT support for Placozoa sister shown for the REA dataset, and for Porifera sister for the WEA15 and WEA17 dataset. Note that for the REA and WEA17 datasets UFBOOT support for some backbone relationships are low under RL2 as discussed in the ‘Partitioned phylogenomics does not support Ctenophora-sister’ results subsection and Supplementary Note 1. For full tree topologies and UFBOOT support values see Supplementary Figs. 17-19 and 21-23.
